J2K100 User’s Manual 3 J1939 Network Basics ® Like an NMEA 2000 network, a J1939 network is based on Controller Area Network (CAN) technology. A CAN network consists of two or more nodes, and for J1939 networks, they usually include one or more engines and the corresponding engine displays. In addition to the nodes or electronic boxes, a CAN network consists of the cabling system, which is used to Ω...

For illustration purposes, the J1939 network in Figure 8 shows the J2K100 drops or stubs (i.e., connection between J1939 network and Maretron J2K100s) as a two wire or twisted pair cable. The network wiring actually requires three wires, two CAN bus signals (usually designated CAN-H and CAN-L, usually yellow and green respectively) and a ground used as a reference (usually designated as CAN-SHLD).
